CUTTING OFF BABY's CURLs.

Ny beautiful darling ran in from his play,
His blue eyes swimming with tears unShed,
''The boys all call me 'dirl, mamma,
And isn't a 'dirl,' he said,
Its cause I've dot curls, and they're just
like dirls
And wish you'd cut off all these mis'able
curls."
1 held my darling close, close to my breast,
And hushed his sobs with sigh and a
smile,
But oh, my heart was so i'll at rest
As thought of the past the while
Must 1 sever those ringlets, half silk, half
gold,
That lovingly over my fingers l rolled?
l thought of the baby kisses and wiles;
Alas! had my baby gone far away?
Must look i'll vain for his dream-like smiles,
And watch him no more at his play?
Nor call him my wee dimpled pearl OF
pearls"
While | stealthilY handled the hated curls?
l lifted them genuy-my boy, my pet,
Still sobbed and still clamored to have them
shorn:
His cheeks were like scarlet, his eyes were
AS he lisped of his playmates' scorn;
And my own eyes were heavy with unshed
tears,
As the shining tresses fell off the shears.
1t was done-my darling no longer wept,
But proudly held up his head as he ran,
''See now you can't call my dirl any more;
My curls are all gone-l's man.
All. poor little manikin, what did he care
That my tears fell hot on that glistening
hair:
laid them aside in a caTven box,
Those living tresses of amber glow.
And look at them now with a yearning
Though my locks are as white as the Snow;
And they straighten and spring into sprails
of gold
At the touch of my tremulous hand, as of
old.
And l think of the head which they clustered
soft
OF the fearful voice and the wet blue eyes,
And wist if his ringlets are grown again,
In his beautiful home in the skies.
Ny baby his triumph was brief as wild
He died ON my bosom little child.
1 had dreamed my dreams of the coming
man.
Ny proud, high dreams but they never led
So high as the heaven TO which he has gone,
Or stopped to that narrow bed;
They were full of glory, untroubled by
pain
Now God has the glory, and he the gain.
And sometimes see through the open door
NV darling, my baby. my pearl OF pearls
His hands outstretched and his shoulders
hid
In cloud of golden curls.
All me these tresses will never gToW gray.
Yet my tears fall like rain us | hide them
away.

Only His Bones Left.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The skeleton
of a man was found few days ago in
Fairfax county, Virginia, at point
about thirty-fve miles south of here on
the Virginia Midland railroad, where
there are side tracks and passenger
trains regularly passing. After couple
of critical examinations and visits to
the place by relatives, the conclusion
has been reached that the skeleton is
that of Thomas COombS, brilliant and
weII-known young chemist and pharma-
c1st of this city, who has for a year or
two been conducting valuable expert
ments in chemistry. He disappeared
ten weeks or more since, and no trace
was had of him until the discovery of
his bones.

A Plaoue of Rabbits.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The firm of r.
w. Cameron & Co., of this city, who are
agents for the government of New
South Wales, are in receipt of communi-
cations Offering a reward by the govern
ment of 1926, 600 to American inventors
for a process which will exterminate
rabbits, which have become a pest
throughout Australia and New Zealand.
In 1864 few English rabbits were i'll
troduced into the botanical garden at
Teumedin. They have increased to
such an extent that they are now public
nuisances, threatening to destroy not
only all the vegetables, but even the
sheep pasturage of the entire country.
The magnitude of the evil and the
urgency of the case are indicated by the
extent of the reward, which, at the
same time, is an expression Of conf
dence in American ingenuity.

THE SLAVE TRADE.
1t is Running Wide Open in South
America,

PANAMA, Nov. 25.-The Revista Cato
lea, of Bogata, says that in Caqueta,
San Martin, Casanare, La'GOajira, Sier-
Ia Nevada, Choco, Opon and Darien
there are over 10000 Columbians who
live savage life. Many of these peo-
pie and their children are stolen and
sold into a life of slavery of the yilest
description. Sometimes combats take
place from which result the slaughter
of hundreds, whose bodies are left
where they fall. The Revista Catolica
also refers to the plumber of Column
bian citizens on the Putumayo and
Napo by Dolores Remedies, and of his
infamous slave dealing transactions, and
particularly to his public sale on the
Lower Amazon, of women who have
been stolen from Columbia. At place
called PosOya, in the province of Man
ibi, Chill, an epidemic prevails which
has killed many natives. The disease
begins with severe pains in the stomach,
followed by flow of blood from the
mouth, and sometimes the eyes and
ears.

made in their education. They have

the result of Mr.. POwderly's policy.
The anarchiStic element has assaulted
POwderly in every possible way. but the

faction can have no possible influence

No. The time is too far off for that.
Everything in the order is serene and
